I'm asking this for a friend:
she installed Mandrake 9.1, and dial-up worked ... well .. pretty much
(I was suprsied because I have never seen a dialup modem working with
linux) ... thing is: it connects to the isp ... but any website one
tries to browse to ... it says 'could not reach host' .. or something
like htat .. so it actually connects, uses the password ... logs in ...
but then everythign is like if it were offline. Ideas please?
In MCC (Mandrake Control Center) > Network & Internet > DrakConnect run the
wizard and tell it to use the modem as the internet connection.
Alternatively I think you can just edit /etc/sysconfig/drakconnect and
change the type to modem:
type=modem
and then restart the network with:
# service network restart
hmm .. thanks .. hope this'll work
